Full description

Experience the grandeur and magnificence of London’s royal quarter with a guided walk around its most stunning monuments and buildings followed by an authentic afternoon tea at the Orangery Kensington Palace.
Steeped in history and intrigue, allow your curiosity to be awakened as you discover St James’ Palace, Buckingham Palace and procession famed, Mall, before riding a London bus to the breathtaking Royal Albert Hall.
Get to the heart of aristocratic London, exploring the quiet corners and higgledy-piggledy streets of St James’ and discover its active, Tudor palace - favourite of the Royal Family - where the King was proclaimed monarch.
Take in the bear-skin hats of the royal guard at Buckingham Palace, the main royal residence in London, and, on Changing of the Guard mornings (normally, Monday, Wednesday and Friday all year around) witness the inspection of the Old Guard at St James Palace, an essential element of this historic ceremony.
See where the King really lives and learn the true story of the development of the Royal residences.
Follow in the steps of the monarch, up Constitution Hill, to the home and monument of Britain’s great general and war hero, the Duke of Wellington.
Behave like the British and hop onto an iconic, red, London bus for a short ride to Kensington Gardens to see the Palace and the romantic Sunken Garden where the Diana Statue is situated.
Ready for refreshment, head for an authentic afternoon tea in the 18th Century Orangery.

Amazing storyteller! Simon our guide was delightful and a wonderful story teller. He knows everything by about the Royals and literally every step we took there was a story from today or centuries past. Each palace history was interesting and nice walk through London. The High Tea at Kensington was spot on and delicious- lots of food we couldn’t finish it all. Thank you for a memorable time.
